SANS TALBOT

Sans is the talented artist who brought my characters to life. He's someone who takes his job very seriously, taking the time to read through the entire manuscript before creating his vision of what my characters look like.

He also proved to be a blurb-writer of the highest calibre, providing me with blurbs for both LEGENDS OF THE SERAI and LADY OF THE LAKES. As if that was not enough, he also had creative and editorial input for both novels. Needless to say, I cannot thank him enough.

LORI DAUL

I got to know Lori through Sans, and I rightfully acknowledged her at the beginning of my second novel, LADY OF THE LAKES. She was the best 'intelligent reader' an author could possibly have, alternating her reader and editor hats with ease.

Lori spent many hours going through my manuscript, painstakingly line-editing from beginning to end. Most importantly, she pointed out weaknesses in overall plot and characterization, helping ultimately to refine that all-important first chapter.

A self-styled 'grammar nazi', Lori is always on melodrama alert. This helps tremendously in toning down my characters when they get overwrought.

BIO

Lori grew up in northern Wisconsin, where she inexplicably developed a Scandinavian accent. She received BSs in Art and Creative Writing from UW Madison, where she fell under Sans's corrupting influence. She now lives in Austin, TX, where she fritters her time away in decadence and the pursuit of frivolous amusements.

 

ANDY CT HO

Andy is the webmaster who created this website from little more than a template. With no previous experience of website construction but armed with the patience of a saint and the tenacity of a bull-dog, he pulled everything together in a matter of weeks.

Andy is a traveller with a keen eye for that aesthetically-pleasing camera shot and just that right angle/lighting/brightness. Many of his photographs of far-off places inspired my writing and I'm more than happy to showcase his talent as backgrounds to my poems.
